Suggestion Cave Spiders a bit too OP

[mikehk]

Ok, so when I was mining in Warshard, I came upon an abandoned mineshaft. Since these usually contain troves of treasures, I went and started searching it. Later, I found a cave spider spawner as you usually do in abandoned mineshafts, and there were a couple cave spiders in there. One of them saw me and began to attack, I backed up and started hitting it with my iron hoe
(does 30 damage as caster) I also was casting fireball. I hit it at least 3 times with fireball and hit it quite a few times with my hoe, yet it was still alive. they also dealt 2 and a half hearts of damage when i had around 450 health everytime they hit me. I am suggesting nerfing the cave spiders a bit because they spawn in groups anyways, and their health and damage is really high.

I think the reasoning behind this is that Mineshafts are full of treasures, so they put a hard mob in there to make you work for it.

You are just too low of a level. The map just started.

Come on.... they don't even have poison any more!!! The cave spider did 2 1/2 hearts which is 5/20 hitpoints. 450 / 20 = 20. 20x5 = 100, the cave spider did 100 damage to you, when you are specced that will do barely anything (also armor will help and most likely reduce its damage by a lot)

I thought they did do poison again. If they don't I'm fine with that, but if they are they really need to be weaker than full-size spiders.

At the mini-event, cave spiders never did poison damage to me, so I'm 70% sure they don't.

Okay then. Could have sworn they did at one point.

I'm pretty sure they did last map.

Hmm, I was mining in an abandoned mineshaft, broke a block leading to an adjacent shaft, and a cave spider got through and I died within seconds. Then again, I was only a level 7 something rogue, nonetheless I had almost no chance to kill it.

Recently tested, cave spiders dont seem to poison any more.

Buff cave spiders with poison please. Can nerf something else about them if you must.

Cave Spiders with poison that can be antidoted but less base damage would be nice.
In most cases when it comes to Cave Spider spawners, best way to go about it just to either mine in groups or make sure you don't take them on unless you're a high spec. They hurt, and they keep spawning until you're lucky enough to get past and destroy the spawner, which can take some time if you're unspecc'd.

Cave spiders are the scourge upon Herocraft, and they will stay the same.

We havent adjusted cave spiders or their ability to poison. (It may be a side effect of Bukkit updating)
